Little Big Heroes

From an award-winning author and illustrator, the inspiring story of how the Little Free Library organization brings communities together through books, from founder Todd Bol’s first installation to the creation of more than 75,000 mini-libraries around the world. Todd and his friends love heroes. But in school, Todd doesn’t feel heroic. Reading is hard for him, and he gets scolded for asking too many questions. How will he ever become the kind of hero he admires? Featuring stunning illustrations that celebrate the diversity of the Little Free Library movement, here is the story of how its founder, Todd Bol, became a literacy superhero. Thanks to Todd and thousands of volunteers—many of whom are kids—millions of books have been enjoyed around the world. This creative movement inspires a love of reading, strengthens communities, and provides meeting places where new friendships, ideas—and heroes!—spring to life. Includes an author’s note and bibliography.

Little Big Heroes is an adventure book that teaches children from the age of 3 how to be brave and gain self-confidence. The 30 stories tell of different heroes who overcome their fears and use their skills to overcome difficult situations. Readers are taken on a journey where they meet a brave elephant who must overcome his fear of water to help his friends, an inquisitive cat who explores her neighborhood and makes many new friends along the way, and a clever fox , who gives wise advice to his friends. But there are also stories about unexpected heroes, like a cheeky monkey who plays pranks but then gets into trouble and needs help from his friends, or a little boy who grows into a brave knight and has many adventures on his journey. The stories are accompanied by colorful illustrations that stimulate children's imaginations and draw them into the world of little heroes. Each story ends with an important lesson about bravery, confidence, or friendship that can help children apply these qualities in everyday life. Little Big Heroes is a book that helps children to recognize their own abilities and strengths and shows them that little heroes can achieve great things too.
